Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 8 slices Pepperoni slices
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 4 Burger buns
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 leaves Leaf lettuce
- 8 slices Tomato slices
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add ground chicken, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture evenly into 4 portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 1-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the chicken patties in the pan.
Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are fully cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, place 2 slices of pepperoni on each patty, followed by a slice of mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the burger buns in a dry skillet or toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a leaf of lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, the cooked chicken patty with pepperoni and melted cheese, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as fries or a salad.
